Soft Form

Contents

Soft-form Tir'ay is hard to classify, as although the general emphasis is on Hold and Throw, Strike and Break still is used. What generally makes a soft form that is that they are usually defensive styles that minimalize movements to give away as little as possible, while utilizing open areas that give plenty of room to move. Soft-form Tir'ay is generally favored by people who are not really interested in fighting, but do not want to be powerless. Despite being considered a passive art, several championships have been won by Soft-form masters.
